Apple acknowledges MacBook Air glitches

The “Boy Genius Report” site (http://www.bgr.com/2010/11/04/apple-confirms-macbook-air-bugs-internally/) says Apple has confirmed a problem with the new MacBook Air is working on a fix.

Apple hasn’t addressed any of the reported issues publicly, but a source told “BGR” that the manufacturer is investigating several of them internally. Included among the issues is a bug where the display flickers or shows horizontal lines of varying colors when a computer wakes from sleep or after hot-plugging a display. Another bug causes the screen to fade from light to dark repeatedly after waking from sleep. Apple’s internal support system includes suggestions for interim fixes in each of these cases, but no permanent fixes are available at this time.

“Apple has stated internally that the aforementioned issues have been isolated and will be addressed in an upcoming software update,” says “BGR.” “When dealing with customers, Apple employees have been instructed to state that the company is aware of these issues and is working on solutions.”
